Denver Broncos general manager George Paton had an absolute whale of a “first” draft on the job in 2021. Paton seems to have nailed his top five picks in the 2021 class up to this point, starting with first-round pick Pat Surtain II, who has been blossoming into stardom week after week in orange and blue. Second-round pick Javonte Williams has also been extremely impressive this season, along with third-round picks Quinn Meinerz and Baron Browning coming on as of late, and fifth-round safety Caden Sterns making a tremendous early impact. Seventh-round pick Jonathon Cooper has also proven so far to be a tremendous value and absolutely a piece of the rotation off the edge moving forward.
